"I've been cooped up inside the bedroom. I want to go out for a walk."
Thomas Shannon paused in his action of smoking a cigarette, then chuckled mockingly. He pried her arms apart from his.
Sophie Sullivan raised her head in confusion. Thomas Shannon turned around, sneering at her, "Sophie, I know what's on your mind. I advise you not to play tricks. Just because I let it slide this time doesn't mean you can do as you please the next time."
Going out for a walk is the pretense; scouting the area is the real intent.
Even now, she's still contemplating how to escape.
Sophie Sullivan gradually lowered her head, her hand hanging by her side clenched into a fist. "Think as you please. If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do."
After speaking, she lay on the bed in a huff, pulling the silk quilt up to cover her head.

Mrs. Shannon held her mobile phone, dazed and lost in thought.
